Late in the fourth quarter of tonight’s Monday Night Football game, New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees broke the 27 year old single season passing yards record of Dan Marino.
Brees needed 305 yards entering the night to set the record and looked well on his way after throwing for over 200 in the first half.

After the Saints defense and special teams stepped up in the second half, Brees needed just 30 yards on a drive with just over five minutes left in the game. The Saints came out throwing and Brees broke the record on a nine yard touchdown pass to Darren Sproles.

First, here’s the video of the Brees touchdown pass to Sproles and Mike Tirico’s call of the record breaker:
